New Favero Assioma PRO RS: the lightest and most accurate pedal power meter on the market 100% compatible with Shimano

Favero has taken a step forward in the design and functionality of road cycling power meters with the launch of the new Assioma PRO RS, pedals that combine advanced technology, ultralight weight, and careful aesthetics without compromising accuracy. With this new model, Favero responds to the demands of both professional cyclists and enthusiasts looking for advanced metrics, ease of use, and compatibility with popular systems like Shimano SPD-SL.

Pedals Favero Assioma PRO RS: record in weight and a step forward in integration and aesthetics

The redesign of this new model, inherited from their mountain bike pedals Assioma PRO MX-2, is a success by eliminating the external pods that characterized previous models like the Assioma Duo. Visually, the new Assioma PRO RS resembles a traditional road pedal, aligning with what brands like Garmin or Look already offer, but with the added benefit of lower weight and easier maintenance.

In addition, Favero has addressed one of the weaknesses of the previous generation: the difference in Q factor. The Assioma Duo Shi offered a Q factor of 65 mm, significantly wider. In contrast, the PRO RS-2 practically matches the Shimano standard (53 mm), improving ergonomics and pedaling experience.

Main technical features of the Favero Assioma PRO RS

• Class-leading weight: Only 123.5 g per pedal, making the PRO RS the lightest power meter pedals for road cycling on the market.
• Compatibility with Shimano SPD-SL® cleats, one of the most widespread in road cycling.
• Accuracy of ±1% even with oval chainrings, thanks to the IAV Power System.
• Rechargeable battery with autonomy of over 60 hours per charge, USB-C magnetic charger included.
• Pod-less design: all electronics are integrated in the pedal axle, now completely sealed, improving durability, water resistance, and maintenance.
• Pedal body in technopolymer reinforced with carbon fiber, providing stiffness and low weight.
• Standard Q factor of 53 mm and a very low stack height of 10.5 mm, improving pedaling efficiency and aerodynamics.
• Modular design: the same axle can be used with both road and MTB pedal bodies (optional), a versatile solution for multidisciplinary cyclists.
• Advanced metrics: including Platform Center Offset (PCO) and more, accessible via ANT+ and Bluetooth.
• Made in Italy, with the brand's characteristic quality seal.

Favero has also confirmed that it will be possible to purchase additional pedal bodies to switch between road and MTB versions, at a much lower cost than other competitors (98 € per set), and without the need for complex tools. This makes the Assioma system one of the most versatile on the market.
